Rakle Posted October 3, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Day 4 8am Dreams came to everyone last night. This time the dreams were same for everyone. Once again everyone relived the ghostly events from the prior day. . . You are seething with rage. Your spouse has betrayed and humiliated you. Grabbing a hatchet from the wall display, you threaten them. They sit at their desk and laugh at your threats. Suddenly the ax blade swings down lops off their hand. Who is laughing now...? Grabbling the severed hand, you rush down the hall and toss the hand into the fire pit. Suddenly the cold reality of what you have done hits you. Rushing to your room, you call for the Majordomo. Both of start to quickly pack. The two of you need to escape with the children before anyone can retaliate. . . the dream fades away to be replaced by another one. ------------------------------------------------------ Your arm still aches from losing your wrist. Reading books has become a difficult and time consuming chore. Taking a break from reading, you step out of the office to stretch your legs. Then hear noise from wife's workroom. "It had better be a mouse" you tell yourself in anger since all of the servants have been banned from this floor. You rush into the room, and find a chamber maid. Before she react or explain, you attack her. She quickly falls to the ground. Then you use your rage, weight and strength to quickly choke her death. Standing back up, you look down at the dead woman. A wicked smirk crosses your face. Grabbing her hand, you start pulling the corpse. Time to get back to work... The next morning everyone rises and completes their morning preparations. What is on today's agenda? Going to basement? Going to the upper reaches of the house? Some more research?

The Great Randini Posted October 3, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Hoog Cuttlescar half orc LG Champion 4 Hoog rubs his eyes and shakes his head. Surprising a yawn due to the fitful rest, he begins his morning prayers, taking extra time over the morning to try to banish the memories of such ugliness. Once he has his center, he sets out his repair kit and looks to Dom or Paim. Are either of you any good at this?

He had of course chopped off a limb or two in his own time, but it was always in defence. Never over some slight or argument. He took some breakfast and Hoog appeared with his repair kit, he was glad of the distraction. "Hand it over here and let us get your shield back in shape. As for up or down, I guess down to the basement is best, I hope the attic is empty, but I doubt we will have such luck!" He set to work, mending the shield. He is surprisingly quick, and the shield is in much better condition once he is done (repair 10 HP in 1 minute) Edited October 4, 2023 by omegoku (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Quick Repair (Crafting) 20 1d20+6 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think we best check upstairs first," Paim said in the morning after she prepared her spells, "We've been going up the last day, so I think we best continue and then go down." She thought a bit more. "I've also had a dream about Paracount Xarwin looking at detailed maps of the region, looking at old and new maps and searching for an old compound of the Order of the Starless Night. This manor might actually be build on it, or close to it, so that's probably in the basement... or below it."

Not just a door-kicker, I see. Thank you, Dom. You should hang on to that repair kit...I'm useless with it anyway. With a nod at Paim, Hoog beings making preparations to break camp and head...up.

His own metal shield was too damaged to repair, but some of it could be used to reinforce some wood and allow him to hold it like a shield. Even just having a piece of wood between him and the monsters that dwelt here would give him some comfort. As a result he spent a little while attempting it, while the others made their daily preperations.

Rakle Posted October 7, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) The party has two stairs that go down. One is connected to the kitchen. The other was connected to the library with the vampire mists. It was one of the doors crit opened by Dom. Which stairs is the party taking?

Rakle Posted October 9, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 9, 2023 Day 4 8:05 am Returning to the library on main floor, the groups takes the stairs down. The stairs descended into dark basement room. The walls are brick. Underneath your feet are flagstone. Eight feet overhead are huge timbers which support the manor. The appears to have been once used in the repair and maintenance of books and scrolls. A pair of desks stand in the east side of this room—one a writing desk and the other a bookbinding worktable. To the north, a cabinet with cracked glass doors shelters a collection of writing implements. A large nook to the west is filled with shelves containing mildewed parchments, paper, and bookbinding supplies. Ooc: The party will need to supply their own light in this room. I will update the stats on roll20 & below when everyone is leveled up. Hero pt awarded to Hoog.
